"P. 81 think it would be best
for our people not to be in hurry to
give the Union Pacific or Professor
Churchill the right of way up Croy
gulch; but wait until you hear from
me again. l think it would be a
great deal better to get a competing
line there than to give the whole
country to the Union Pacific. The
Central Pacific, if it comes at all, will
come to Glenn's Ferry and then reach
HALEY by way of Camas Prairie.
G. w. F."
Mr.. Taylor should endeavor to
keep people from coming for at least
three weeks longer, as the roads will
hardly be passable before the middle
of Aprll.-ED.

Marriage on a Moderate Income.

From the Epoch.
Two principal causes have led to the decline In
matrimony among fashionable or would-be fash
ionable circles in New York, and to q less though
still to considerable degree In some OF the other
large cities. The first is the increased comforts
and diminished expenses OF bachelor life; the
second Is the Over-wOrship to which we have ac-
cuStOmed our women.
The avidity with which suites were secured In
the first bachelor apartment house built in New
York soon led to the erection or large number of
similar structures. In these suites OF two three
or more rooms can be had at cost little exceeding
what man used to have to pay for one large fur
nished room in well-situated lodying-hOuse.
Some OF these houses have restaurants attached.
and In others the occupants can arrange with the
Jan1t0r Tor the supply or light breakfast The
number or clubs has increased almost proportion
ately with that OF the apartment houses AZ his
c!ub the member fnds an amount OF comfort, OFTEN
OF luxury, that only an enormously rich man
could furnish for himself. Here he can dine or
lunch at price which little more than covers the
cost OF the provisions Many OF the clubs have
sleeping rooms over the public ones and thus oiIer
exceptional advantages to bachelors.

started he can have an unlimited amount Of social
gayety, and an occasional bouquet or q bonbon-
ntere a. Christmas Is all the return he is expected
TO make for the tnnumerable Inequalities re-
ceived. Now, surprising that he is sifflciently in
love with some girl to be willing to surrender the
greater portions OF his little comforts to the de-
sire to make her his wife, is he likely to find her
willing to accept him? Most probably mott And
II she should accept him. have her education and
training been such as to make her a helpmate to
him? Again the answer is a negative In con-
sidering the wherefore of these negatives the sec
ond principle cause, before stated, is naturally
reached.
The society young lady wants to begin her mar.
ried life on the same scale as that on which her
parents are ending theirs. Her parents pet and
indulge ner in every way, her bachelor friends
adore her, and she receives almost as much wor-
ship as did goddess In the days OF Greece and
Rome. Very probably she is pretty, highly edu-
Gated, accomplished, bright, and attractfve-a de.
hghtiul partner for dance or a Irritation, and
very Likely an excellent wife for an extremely rich
man. But ask her to come down from her pedestal.
10 De the helpmate or man OF moderate means, to
cut herself loose from the acquaintance that can
only be kept up while she is wealthy, to share in
his struggles and to rise or sink with him. and she
Will, most likely, politely and ririniy refuse

state or affairs Will be.

Fairbairn Osa Evolution.
From the Nan vark He ALL

Dr. FairbairD, Of Mansfield College oxford, is
one OF the very few modern divines who is always
ready TO look tho facts OF science in the face For
HIM evolution has no terrors. In one OF his most
recent addresses he says: II do not reject eyolu-
ton. respect 1t because 1t compcls us to form
worthier conception Of God. 1t does not allow Tia
TO think OF Him as standing apart from the world
and seeing 1t go, touching It where It needs repair
or where IL calls for improvement. Wo are forced
70 think OF Him as living and working within It,
IL further supplies US with invinctbe evidence of
the process OF evolution then what energies In the
result must have been contained In the cause

have had reason az its infOided yet eficient and
